Insurance overview

As your driving habits and the type of car that you drive change, we know that the cover that you need changes too.

That's why our Comprehensive Car Insurance includes cover specifically tailored to electric and hybrid vehicles, while providing the same high quality level of cover you'd get when insuring a petrol or diesel car.

What's included:

  • Battery cover: Whether leased or owned, cover against accidental damage, fire and theft.(i)
  • Charging cables, chargers and home wall boxes, and adapters: All covered in the event of insured damage plus protection should someone trip over the cables and you are at fault.(ii)

  • RAC EV Boost at the roadside to get you to the nearest charging point.
  • Lifetime guarantee on repairs: British Standard accredited bodyshops, plus use of manufacturer repairers when required, for as long as you own the vehicle, when you use the recommended repairer scheme.(iv)
  • No Claims Discount protected if you’re hit by an uninsured driver and no excess to pay.(v)
  • New car replacement: if you purchase a UK model from new and it’s less than two years old when it’s stolen or written off. A whole year longer than many other insurers.
  • Motor Legal Protection: giving you access to legal advice and covering legal costs up to £100,000.
